About us

At the Institute of Care Excellence (ICE) we support staff, students and learners at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) and external colleagues in delivering clinical care excellence. ICE supports the creation of new knowledge, through research, innovation and education to drive the delivery of world-class care for people across Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, the East Midlands and beyond.

Working closely with internal and external partners we provide opportunities for career development and bespoke quality assured training and education encompassing the pillars of practice: research and innovation, education, clinical practice and leadership, to enhance both personal and professional growth across the levels of practice.

With over 10 years’ experience in developing shared governance and shared decision making, ICE is fundamental in facilitating this culture change in practice through training, coaching and supporting staff councils. ICE offers bespoke training, including leadership masterclasses to other organisations, being recognised as a national lead in this approach to front line leadership.
